“Darling Alex, you have loved me for ten years. Was that all fake? You’re the man I love the most in this world! It was you who told me that you have been loving me. Were you lying to me? Not only do you not love me, but you want to beat me to death too? You actually would beat the woman you had loved for ten years to death?”At that moment, Lily had no other better way but to keep reminding Alex that she was the girl whom Alex had once loved the most. She wanted to use that to let Alex pity her, then only she could escape death. This was because she could tell Alex truly wanted to get her killed by beating her up that day. Alex had indeed stopped. Lily had a sense of joy as if she had escaped death. “Darling Alex, you could not bear to beat me up, right? You still love me very much. You had once doted on me very much and was very tolerating with me…”Alex suddenly pinched Lily’s chin so hard that she felt as if her lower jaw was going to be shattered. Alex did not have the inten
No one had expected that Lily would drive down the mountain in Alex’s car. Lily could tell that Alex was never going to let her go today. At that moment, Lily was truly afraid. She even regretted that she had gone overboard with what she had done in the northeast. If Alex could not find Jane in this life, then he absolutely would not let her live. ‘What to do?’ Lily pondered as she drove, and she was covered in tears. When Lily arrived at the bus station at the bottom of the mountain, a bus happened to be coming from afar. Lily then got off the car and got on the bus. She knew she could only escape for a moment. If she were to drive a little further, even if Alex did not have large enough power in South City, his blood brother, Sebastian, would have her car surrounded with no way to escape. The best way was to escape by bus. Many people on the bus were looking at her. What a strange woman. She was bleeding out of her nose and her hair was in a mess. It was as if she had been take
Rose was speechless. Indeed, this news came too suddenly. She was first surprised, but then she held Lily. “Oh, my daughter-in-law, is…this all true?”Lily was secretly happy in her heart. She could clearly figure out Rose’s thoughts and feelings. All of Rose’s sons had passed away. She was already old and she needed someone to lean on. Therefore, she took out all of her properties to send Holden abroad. At that moment, Lily was pregnant with Holden’s child, which also was equivalent to giving additional bargain chips to Rose. In the future, this child would be Rose’s grandchild, and there was a saying that the bond between grandparents and grandchildren was strong!“Godmother, are you…still willing to acknowledge me as your daughter-in-law?” asked Lily. “Of course! Of course, I do!” Rose turned her head and looked at Sean. “Darling, don’t you acknowledge her as your daughter-in-law? Sebastian is not close to us, and he kept treating us as his enemies. Now, Lily’s pregnant with Hol
In that afternoon, Lily and Alex were respectively rushing to Kidon City from South City. Lily first returned to her parent’s house, accompanied by Sean and Rose. After briefly telling her parents about the matter, her parents wanted to beat her to death with a stick! “How can you be so d*mned? It’s all our fault for spoiling you since you’re a child.” Lily’s mother was so angered that she pounded her chest and stomped.Lily’s father sighed woefully. “Look at you. Wouldn’t it have been great if you hadn’t gone abroad so willfully back then, and just got married to Alex instead? Your child could have been in kindergarten by now. However, you went looking for trouble instead, and you spent ten years wandering out there. Do you think he will wait for you for ten years? What are you doing back here again? Alex was then forced by you to drive his girlfriend away. Now, look! You came out empty-handed, and you even caused this kind of a mess. Leave, get lost!”Lily’s father was a doctor,
“Dad, she can’t just abandon as she pleases. And then when she comes looking for me ten years later, I still have to be waiting for her in the same place? She returned after ten years! If she were to return after twenty years instead, am I supposed to wait for her until I’m old and grey? Am I supposed to not get married and have children in this life then?”Old Master Poole was speechless. There was a pause before he sighed. “It’s not that I don’t know this reasoning, but son, our family and the Parker family have been friends for generations! You would rather have the maid than her…”“Friend for generations?” Alex sneered miserably. “Our families have been friends for generations, and yet, she dumped me for ten years? Would a family friend be so cruel to harm the woman I loved?”“What are you talking about?”“You think of Jane as a maid, but she also thinks of herself as a maid. She is not willing to be your daughter-in-law at all. She already got married in the northeastern regio
Alex turned around and saw an old woman. The old person’s back was hunched over. She was carrying a bag on her back and was holding a bowl with broken edges in her hand.“Ma’am, you are…”Alex originally thought that this old person was Noah’s mother. However, after he had taken a closer look, this old woman was much older than Noah’s mother. Also, she was more shabbily dressed than Noah’s mother. Therefore, who was this old woman? The old woman raised her aged and cloudy gaze to look at Alex. “You are the big shots from Kidon City, right?”Alex was speechless. “I’m an old woman who begs for food. I have also lived long enough, so I don’t fear death anymore! I just wanted to ask you, what exactly did this family do to you? Why do you bully them so miserably? I don’t believe such a nice family would do anything illicit! You are all just taking advantage of your power to bully them!” muttered the old woman. Then, she left in resentment. She was banging on the bowl in her hands w
“Hello, nice to meet you. If you have any dissatisfaction with our restaurant, you can let us know, and we will improve ourselves. We hope that you can frequent our restaurant in the future. Also, if you have developed any houses here, we would like to be offered below the market rate…” Once Alex saw that the owner had taken the bait, he then said with a cold and stern expression, “I remember when we came here more than half a month ago, we went to that restaurant opposite this place…” Garrett immediately smiled in a flattering manner. “The restaurant opposite has ceased operations…”“Oh…” There was a pause before Alex raised his gaze and looked at the restaurant owner. “Do you have that spaghetti with olives, capers and lemon which was served in the opposite restaurant?”The owner replied, “This one…”Alex had never been to the restaurant Jane and Noah started, but he knew that Jane’s restaurant would definitely have spaghetti with olives, capers and lemon. That was Jane’s spec
Alex was stunned, and then he asked calmly, “You are?”“Master Alex, you…you don’t even recognize my voice? Mrs Poole even said that you have praised me.” Cindy’s voice was extremely gentle. “Mrs Poole?” Alex asked.Cindy said on the other end of the line, “Master Alex, I had never thought that your relationship with Mrs Poole would be this good. I only found out that both of you were childhood sweethearts when I heard it from Mrs Poole… Master Poole, you’re surprisingly a person with lasting affections. You actually waited for your wife…since she was almost fifteen years old. It turns out that you have been so disdainful to all the other women out there because you have been waiting for her all long. I have truly misunderstood you many years ago. I thought you cared for Jane Sheen very much back then. It turned out it wasn’t like that. Now, I finally understood your intentions. Who asked Jane to be asking for it herself?”Alex was speechless. At that moment, it would be impossib
